Also, having a buyer or buyers list in your pocket is helpful so you can target leads that have a better chance of turning into deals as opposed to casting too wide of net and getting lost.

Projected cast neutral (we use conservative numbers, for example our maintenance/cap ex allocation was $500/month) at purchase (tougher to find now). 

Our plan is to take an absolute ton of photos so people can get a good sense of the units ahead of time, cast a wide net for finding tenants, and do some prescreening up front.

My due diligence sewer scope inspection prior to purchasing a 1948 built home with enormous tree in the front yard returned with the cast iron pipe, main sewer line, under the house and the, clay pipe, in front of the house to city sewer was in “okay condition” and “good condition” respectively.

I do currently have enough cast to pay my mortgages for almost a year. 

I really appreciate the effort and taking the time to come up with this great layout, I love it especially since there is no wasted space and the living room- kitchen area would be around 5 feet taller and almost 2 feet wider, now I’m comparing between the last layout that I was thinking of I’ve attached a picture below, and my question to you as an engineer is which one would cost less and which one would have less deal breakers in it in the eye of a buyer, I’ve put down a very general steps that needs to be taken for each one of them leaving out of the picture the family room converting for now, in the new layout all the bedrooms will have a direct access to bathrooms, but in cast of a guest they’d have to pass a bedroom to go to the bathroom, not sure if that’s very important or not, and if we’d go with the layout you proposed I’d defiantly do the stack-able washer and dryer and maybe put the water heater beside them and use the top part of that space for jackets or small open closetThis is a picture of the other layout that I was thinking of except for the entry door would be in located where the current window is A general steps needs to be taken for each layout are Layout 1 where we relocate the kitchen Convert a window to a front door Maybe build a small porch for the new front door ?

I was on tonight's pod cast and Brandon said the discount code was "90days" per my memory to sign up for Pro level.

But one of my former tenants poured gallons of Drano down the drain when it would clog and I’m hoping the old cast iron sewer pipe survived that.

I am looking to replace the cast iron drain pipe with a PVC scheduled 40 4" pipe.
